Florida, Orlando!!! English speaking!

Well....you heard it!! Johnathan opened his mission call today and is to report to the Provo MTC on August 3rd...... Our baby is due on the 10th, but the doctor said he would not let me go past the 3rd of August. So I guess Johnathan gets his wish and most likely, he will be here to see the baby born and into the MTC before the Fall semester begins. (So that when he returns he can jump right back into school!)

We are very excited for him and know this is a call from the Lord which will provide the growth and development Johnathan needs and the people who he needs to touch. Congratulations Johnathan!! We are very proud of you! (And we are so very grateful Kyle was able to call in when we opened up the letter!)

What!?! No phone call??? LOL Congrats!! We are very excited. By the way, Kestly is once again asking if she could please just move back to her friend Joshua. She tells us likes him so much better than anyone here.

That's kinda neat, to have another one on it way, and one just arriving. I hope you are doing well and feeling well. I would love to see you, who knows maybe we'll get down there someday. I haven't spoken with your mom for awhile, will try to call her tonight. Hugs and kisses love you PS is your mom coming that way when the baby comes???? just wondering

About Me

Mother of nine. Busy as a bee. Loving life, living, learning, enjoying the process. Each day is a new adventure which provides growth and development for all (our family motto)!

Quotes for my life:

"To do well does not mean everything will always turn out well. The key is to remember that faith and obedience are still the answers, even when things go wrong, perhaps especially when things go wrong."--David E. Sorensen, "Faith Is the Answer," Ensign, May 2005, 72

“The cultivation of Christlike qualities is a demanding and relentless task—it is not for the seasonal worker or for those who will not stretch themselves, again and again.”President Spencer Kimball, “Privileges and Responsibilities of Sisters,” Ensign, November 1978, 105

Mothers who Know

COURAGE...

Life's journey is not traveled on a freeway devoid of obstacles, pitfalls, and snares. Rather, it is a pathway marked by forks and turnings. Decisions are constantly before us. To make them wisely, courage is needed: the courage to say, 'No,' the courage to say, 'Yes.' Decisions do determine destiny. The call for courage comes constantly to each of us. It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be.--Thomas S. Monson, "The Call for Courage," Ensign, May 2004, 54

STRENGTH

“When[ever] I am tempted to feel that I have finished some hard task in the [Lord’s service] and deserve a rest, the Savior’s example gives me courage to press on. … When[ever] [I] remember Him, it becomes easier to resist the temptation to want a rest from [our] priesthood labors. We must have remembered Him today, and so we are here to [remember to] learn our duties, determined to do what we are covenanted to do, in all diligence. And because of His example we will endure to the end of the tasks He gives us in this life and be committed to do the will of His Father forever, as He was and is. This is the Lord’s Church. He called us and trusted us even in the weaknesses He knew we had. He knew the trials we would face. … We can become ever more like Him.” Henry B. Eyring, “Act in All Diligence,” Ensign, May 2010, 60-63.

Motivation

"To reach a goal you have never before attained, you must do things you have never before done."--Richard G. Scott, "Finding the Way Back," Ensign, May 1990, 74

I have the feeling I will need this later
